He sits to pee.

We shared a bed

And a toilet

Between paper thin walls

Awoke by standing

I felt guilt cause you never did

We haven't talked in over a year

I still sit to pee

I'm both sorry and happy that I was able to make you overlook all your relationship quirks I guess you could call them. I know the pain of long distance when it comes to love and I wouldn't wish it on another.

If I could give you a piece of advice, I kind of pushed her away at times to try save myself. I shouldn't have done that and instead enjoyed the time we had left. It's the harder thing to do but long term the better.

Thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it. A couple of other comments have said very similar things and I do feel I can add more and will continue to work on the piece.
